State Glance
ICANN has overseen the directories since 1998.
Some conservatives opposed ceding oversight, which was approved by Congress as part of a temporary spending bill.
But Hanks ruled that the states suing had failed to provide sufficient evidence that transitioning ICANN oversight would cause harm.
Former governor’s burial preceded by sentimental tour
PHOENIX — A former Arizona governor’s ashes were taken on a tour of local sites before they were buried in a Phoenix cemetery.
The Arizona Capitol Times reports that former Gov. Rose Mofford died Sept. 15 at age 94. Her friends and family held a private funeral service and a public celebration of her life is being planned.
Before the service, Mofford’s ashes were driven to several sites bearing her name or personal significance.
Mofford spent 51 years as a state employee, including nearly three as governor, and had close ties to the Phoenix community. Her funeral was attended by the owner of a restaurant she frequented, her hairdresser and a former softball teammate from the 1930s.
The graveside service was held by the St. Francis Xavier parish’s Father Dan Sullivan.
